Generally, operating systems offer a set of services through primitives that are used on demand by applications. Similarly, software components implement and provide services through well-defined interfaces, which are reused in different software projects of a problem domain. Based upon this similarity, it is researched the reuse of software components in real time operating systems projects. It is presented CSK (Computer Structured Kernel) approach for structuring a real time kernel with software components. The approach is divided in two phases. In the first one software components are built from the legacy code and documentation of a preexisting kernel. In the second one, that kernel is rebuilt by reusing the produced components. A case study applies CSK to real time kernel Virtuoso.
Sistemas operacionais em geral oferecem um conjunto de serviços através de primitivas, as quais são utilizadas sob demanda pelas aplicações. Similarmente, componentes de software implementam e disponibilizam serviços através de interfaces bem definidas, sendo reutilizados em diferentes projetos de software de um domínio de problema. Baseado nesta similaridade, é pesquisado o reuso de componentes de software na área de tempo-real, nos projetos de sistemas operacionais. É apresentada uma abordagem para a estruturação de kernels de tempo-real utilizando componentes de software, denominada CSK (Component Structured Kernel). Esta abordagem é dividida em duas grandes fases. Na primeira fase, constroem-se os componentes a partir do código legado e da documentação de um kernel já existente. Na segunda fase é feita a reestruturação do kernel, através do reúso de componentes. Um estudo de caso aplica a abordagem CSK ao kernel Virtuoso.

Full textWireless communication is employed to connect mobile computers in a networked environment for information exchange. In a tactical space, sensors and computers typically need to operate on-the-move while transmitting data over both short and long distances in different terrain and conditions. The wireless communication is thus susceptible to effects of Doppler shift and channel fading. In addition, when security and anti jamming features are required, such as frequency-hopping techniques, then coherent signal detection is difficult and noncoherent modulation is used instead. Our study will focus on the bit error rate (BER) performance analysis of noncoherent orthogonal modulation, specifically M-ary frequency-shift keying (MFSK) and code-shift keying (CSK) modulation, in both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and for a Rayleigh fading channel with Doppler shift. The potential applications include communications between mobile computer-sensor devices, such as a mobile ground control station maintaining a datalink with UAV.

Full textThe Worlds energy usage has dramatically increased since the 1970's and as a consequence also the prices for energy. This creates incentives for investments with the purpose to decrease energy costs, which is a development you can see in the industry, transport and building sectors. Karlstad Central Hospital is no exception with a floorspace equivalent of 26 football fields and activity around the clock. Just to heat and cool the hospital to a pleasant climate consumes a large amount of energy. Currently the parts of the hospital is being rebuilt to reduce its energy consumption. In September 2010 the hospital's energy production changed . When six heatpumps were installed, two linked to hospital cooling system to recover heat and four to geothermal heat by 81 boreholes and the river Klarälven, which runs past the hospital. Long-distance heating is used for peak loads and in reserve when the heat pumps cannot supply all heating needs. The hospital's cooling is produced by the two heat pumps, three cooling machines and free cooling from the geothermal connection. When designing the new energy production it was meant that the heat pumps should produce the heat required to -4 ° C, the rest would be covered by long-distance heating. The boreholes would make possible to storage energy between seasons. But operation of the plant has shown that reality differs from the theory. The heatpumps have not been fully utilized during the winter when neither the geothermal or the river behaved as intended. The operating strategy that was developed during project planning valid and therefore needs to be revised. This thesis is a step in that effort. The project's objectives was to produce a tool to analyze the hospital's operating history in cooperation with the Central Hospital's engineering staff. The tools users is meant to be the same staff so its design must be easily understood for those. A trialperiod took place therefore before the final handover. The tool was developed in Microsoft Excel and it creates four graphs showing the operational history of each year. Two of them are showing the heat- or cold-output in kilowatts for a year and what produces this output. The other two shows the cost in thousand swedish crowns to produce these effects. The tool calculates thus by collecting data from power and temperatur gauges installed in the hospitol and is collected by the monitoring program Citec och statistics program WebEss. By comparing the power and cost graph for heat it can be seen for example what heat pumps produced and how much the production cost. A key word in the development of the tool has been simplicity for the users. The tool should be easy and fast to update and simple to understand, which was achieved. After a week's trial had been running the staff had no wanted changes so the tool was handed over.

Full textUltra WideBand (UWB) over fiber is a promising technology for meeting the demands of future wireless local-area networks (WLANs) and wireless personal-area networks (WPANs). Thanks to the enormous bandwidth and fiber characteristics, a high communication quality may be established at long reach. UWB wireless propagation must be achieved with special power and spectral constraints fixed by the regulatory bodies (e.g. US Federal Communication Commission). The novelty of our work originates from exploiting the benefits of a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) so as to get a reach extension at limited cost and complexity. However, the inherent nonlinear effects and Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) noise associated to such device may affect the system performance.Overcoming these impairments has been of central importance in this study. SOA nonlinearities have been mitigated by applying analog pre-distortion in electrical domain. Phaser-based processing was also proposed to simultaneously reduce ASE influence and linearize SOA characteristics, thanks to up/down chirping performed on the transmitter/receiver sides. With Impulse Radio UWB transmission, due to the time properties of modulation patterns, discrete lines arise in the corresponding spectrum, which may violate FCC limit or reduce the power efficiency. A new shape randomization technique has been investigated, which proved to be effective in suppressing these spectral spikes. The three approaches have shown a great potential with On Off Keying and Pulse Position Modulation formats at long optical reach.The performance of Differential Chaos Shift Keying was finally examined in the over fiber system, a lower error probability was experimentally achieved in comparison with other non-coherent modulations

Full textA queratite superficial crónica (QSC) ou Pannus é uma doença ocular canina e caracteriza-se pela infiltração da córnea com neovasos, tecido de granulação e pigmento, geralmente com início no quadrante temporal inferior. A raça Cão de Pastor Alemão (PA) é predisposta. Este estudo incluiu 53 cães com QSC que se apresentaram à consulta de oftalmologia no Hospital escolar da FMV-UTL entre 2002 e 2012. Os principais objectivos foram: caracterizar a população estudada e avaliar as lesões da córnea, capacidade visual e resposta ao tratamento. A população estudada tinha 64% cães machos, 77,4% da raça PA ou cruzados da mesma e idades de 6 ± 2,3 anos. Baseada na extensão das lesões e através de um diagrama esquemático, a QSC foi classificada em grau I (23% dos pacientes), grau II (30%) e grau III (47%). Esta classificação foi útil para classificar o estado das lesões dos pacientes e avaliar a evolução clínica. A capacidade visual estava comprometida em 45% dos pacientes e 17% estavam invisuais devido a queratite pigmentar grave. Cinco cães que subitamente apresentaram comprometimento ou perda de visão devido à rápida progressão das lesões testaram positivo para hemoparasitas. A infecção por hemoparasitas deve ser despistada quando há progressão rápida das lesões, sobretudo em áreas endémicas. O tratamento inicial consistiu em corticosteróides e ciclosporina A 2% tópicos. Em casos mais graves, os corticosteróides sistémicos foram prescritos. Independentemente da extensão das lesões, nos acompanhamentos realizados até 3 meses após a consulta inicial, a maioria dos pacientes apresentou melhorias: os sinais clínicos melhoraram em 90,5% dos pacientes e estabilizaram em 9,5%.
ABSTRACT - Chronic superficial keratitis (CSK) or Pannus is an ocular disease of dogs and is characterized by corneal vascularization and infiltration of granulation tissue and pigmentation, which generally initiates at temporal inferior quadrant. The breed German Shepherd Dog is the most affected. This study included 53 dogs that presented with CSK at consultation of ophthalmology in Teaching Hospital at FMV-UTL between 2002 and 2012. The study objectives are: to characterize the population under study, CSK lesions and the patients’ vision and to evaluate the response to treatment. The study population included 64% males, aged 6 ± 2,3 years, of which 77,4% were either pure German Shepherd Dog or crossbred. Based on the extent of corneal lesions and by means of a schematic diagram, CSK was classified in initial (23% of patients), moderate (30%) and severe (47%) stages. This classification is helpful to classify the lesions of QSC upon presentation and evaluate the clinical results at follow-up. Vision was compromised in 45% and 17% of the patients were blind due to severe pigmentary keratitis. Five dogs with sudden compromised vision or blindness due to rapidly progressive CSK tested positive for hemoparasites. Hemoparasite infection should be ruled out in cases of rapidly progressive CSK, especially in endemic regions. Initial treatment consisted on topical corticosteroids and cyclosporine A 2%. In severe cases, systemic corticosteroids were prescribed. Regardless of lesions’ extent, most patients improved at 3 months follow-up: lesions improved in 90,5% of patients and stabilized in 9,5%.

Full textAim: The aim of this study is to investigate whether authentic CSR leads to greater profitability than opportunistic CSR. Method: In this study, a positivistic researchphilosophy is assumed with a hypothetical deductive approach. The study is quantitative and secondary data has beencollected from the Thomson Reuters Datastream. A longitudinal design has been used where data covering ten years has been obtained for the study's selection of 525 public companies, collected data has been statistically analyzed. Result & Conclusions: The results show that when a company pursues authentic CSR the positive effect of its CSR initiatives on company performance is stronger than for those who pursues opportunistic CSR, however the result depends on the variables used to measure authenticity. Suggestions for future research: The present study is of longitudinal design and extends over ten years. A study that examines a shorter period may be interesting for further research as this may obtain a larger selection of companies. Research that further develops the concept of authenticity and authentic CSR conceptually and how this can be measured is also something that further research can focus on. Contribution of the thesis: From a theoretical perspective this study contributes to the accounting literature by discussing whether authentic CSR leads to better financial performance, as well as through completed measurements regarding authenticity in relation to CSR and the development of how this can be operationalized. From a practical perspective, the present study contributes to increased understanding for companies about the importance of acting authentically in their CSR work.

Full textAim: The Swedish ministry of justice has submitted a legislative proposal that could require about 2000 Swedish companies to report Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), something that today is voluntary. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether there is any relationship between reported CSR and corporate financial performance. In this area of research, Corporate Social Performance (CSP) has been used to quantify reported CSR. The relationship is studied partly based on an aggregate measure of CSP, but also from the two dimensions environment and human rights. Method: The study is based in positivist research philosophy and adopts a hypothetical-deductive approach. The strategy adopted is quantitative, using a cross-sectional design and secondary data only. The study's sample amounts to 211 companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. The data used as a measure of CSP is taken from Folksam’s index for corporate responsibility for 2013. The measures of financial performance is taken from the annual reports for the financial year of 2013, obtained through the database Retriever and the companies' own websites. Furthermore, all data is processed in SPSS where it was analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results & conclusions: The study showed that there was a positive relationship between CSP and corporate financial performance. The study provided further support for a relationship both from the overall dimension of CSP and the environmental dimension. CSR-related work can therefore be regarded as a value-creating strategy in terms of the company's financial performance, particularly in terms of environment-related work. Suggestions for further research: This study has a cross-sectional design, which is sometimes criticized for being insufficient when the relationship between CSP and financial performance is studied. One suggestion we leave for further studies is to do a similar study over time to identify changes. Furthermore, some researchers believe that it’s not enough to measure the company's financial performance only through accounting-based measures. Therefore, another suggestion is to investigate the relationship including market-based measures. In chapter 5.4 more suggestions for further research are presented. Contributions of the thesis: This study contributes more knowledge to the varying results of the relationship between companies CSP and financial performance. Furthermore, the study's practical contribution is to give a better understanding of how CSP affects financial performance of companies in a Swedish context.

Full textCorporate social responsibility has recently become increasingly important, especially in the retailing sector. It has also become more important to the society which affects how organisations choose to work with this. Therefore, media reporting on corporate social responsibility has also increased. How can this affect organisations and their CSR-reporting? Corporate social responsibility has become a well-known concept that corporations have adapted, a consequence of this is that the concept of CSI has emerged. This means that corporations are working in an irresponsible manner to achieve legitimacy. Organisations are dependent on their stakeholders, which in turn may be affected by the media. Thus, it is in the interest of businesses to convey a positive image to the society, which can be done by producing sustainability reports. The purpose of this essay was to contribute with knowledge about how a public organisation with many stakeholders workswith CSR and how they are affected by the media's reporting regarding this. We have conducted a qualitative study where we analysed 15 sustainability reports produced by H&M between 2002-2016. We have done this by conducting a content analysis where we developed a coding scheme. We searched for key concepts and examined how many times these occurred in the sustainability reports. We also analysed the media reporting on H&M's corporate social responsibility. Our theoretical framework consists of research that addressed the concepts CSR, CSI, stakeholders, legitimacy, sustainability reportingand media. We also present an analysis model that served as a starting point, with this weput our empirical data in relation to the theoretical framework and afterwards we conductedan analysis based on this. Our empirical study consists of our coding scheme and material from media and H&M's website. This, together with the theoretical framework, forms the basis of our discussion and conclusions. Our main conclusion was that the corporations' sustainability reporting is primarily influenced by the demands of stakeholders. We have not been able to identify a greater impact from the media regarding the organisations sustainability reports, which reinforces this statement.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the enantioselective separation, developing new chiral solvating agents (CSA) and new chiral stationary phases (CSP). In the first part of the thesis, there were synthesized trifunctional compounds such as 1,8,10-tribromoanthracene and 10-bromo-α,α'-bistrifluorometyl-1,8-anthracenedimethanol, allowing the synthesis of trifunctional CSAs or anchor these compounds in stationary phases for a subsequent application in chiral HPLC. Another section of this thesis, the molecular tweezers were synthesized and characterized by NMR. Enantiodiscrimination capabilities have been tested with different solutes, obtaining different results. We also have studied the CSA-solute complexes formed. In some cases, the rigidity of the CSA has not permitted the tweezers function, obtaining poor results in chiral recognition, but in other cases, we found that this chiral recognition was spectacular when the solute contains an amino group and the CSA has a nitro or amino group, allowing another point of interaction between the CSA and solute. In these cases, the stoichiometry of the complex CSA:solute is 1:2 rather than 1:1 as usual. The last section of this thesis was focused on the synthesis of new chiral stationary phases (CSP) type Brush. The aim was to prepare a CSP with molecular tweezers terminations. The first CSP synthesized I didn’t achieve my goal, as it didn’t have tweezers terminations, so another CSP was prepared containing the ABTE isophthalate, staying one step away from full preparation.

Full textResearch question: What problems do Swedish companies face when implementing CSR in their supply chain in China? How can Swedish companies work to overcome the identified problems when implementing CSR in China? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify what problems Swedish companies face when implementing CSR in China and how they can create a strategy to overcome these problems. Furthermore, the thesis aims to highlight which stakeholders contribute to the problem. Method: The thesis is based on a qualitative study which was based on semi-structured interviews with respondents with expertise in the chosen research field. Some of the interviews were carried out in Shanghai, China, considering the study is aimed at the Chinese market. Conclusion: The result of the study show that some of the identified problems are directly and indirectly linked with the companies stakeholders. Furthermore the study shows that the problems can be overcome by long term strategies in the form of shared value by the company and its environment.

Full textBlood cells arise from a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), present into bone marrow (3M) in adult humans, which needs close contacts with a special zone of 3M micro environment (named hematopoietic niche) for its differentiation and self’-renewal. The precise nature of the niche-forming cells (named stromale cells) are not yet well known, particularly in their relationship with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The aim of the study was to investigate further the role of the MSCs in the hematopoiesis control according to their differentiation pathway and state and to evaluate their role in the migration process of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPÇ,[ We show that non-differentiated MSCs display the best hematopoietic supporting activity (using 5-week long term cultures) that is completely lost after in vitro differentiation into adipocytes, osteoblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells. In addition, we show that G-CSP stimulation of 3M MSCs promotes HSC/HPC migration (using trans-stromal migration assay) via a MMP-2-dependent mechanism

Full textAim: As the awareness of consumers and other stakeholders increases, higher demands on Corporate Social Performance (CSP) are required to keep the companies successful. These increased requirements have contributed to new restrictions and law on reporting non-financial information, for which corporate governance is responsible. The increased reporting requirement also mean that some major companies should report on their diversity. This study aims at investigating the relationship between female board members and CSP as well as whether national cultural features have a moderating effect on the relationship. Method: The study applies a positivistic research philosophy with a hypothetical-deductible approach. The study has a quantitative research strategy and a longitudinal research design carried out with data for the six-year period 2012-2017 for 673 public European companies. The study is based on secondary data retrieved from the Thomson Reuters Datastream, which is then analyzed in the IBM SPSS statistics program. Result & Conclusion: The studys results show that there is a positive link between female board members and CSP, and that national cultural features have a moderating effect on this relationship. The result indicates that women's power in the board when it comes to CSR activities is influenced by national cultural features. Contribution of the thesis: This study contributes from a theoretical perspective to business research by examining the impact of national cultural features on the relationship between female board members and CSP, thereby increasing knowledge about the subject. This study provides practically important information for companies that want to improve their social performance. Suggestion for future research: In this study, we have studied only the moderating effect of cultural on the relationship between female board members and total CSP. It would be interesting to see the effect on the respective dimension of CSP in order to determine if there is any difference between them. There is also the possibility of conducting a similar study but including countries from more continents.

Full textPurpose: Since previous research has shown diverse and contradictory results regarding the relationship between CSP and financial performance, it creates an understanding that other variables may affect the relationship. The purpose of the study is to examine whether and how the level of insider ownership affects the relationship between social responsibility and financial performance. Method: This study was based on a positivistic research philosophy, with a deductive approach and adopted a quantitative research strategy. A cross-sectional design has been carried out using only secondary data that was collected from Thomson Reuters Datastream. The secondary data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis in SPSS. Results & Conclusions: The result wasn’t able to show how the level of insider ownership affects the relationship between social responsibility and financial performance. However, the study showed that there is a negative relationship between the social responsibility and financial performance (ROA and Tobin’s Q), as well as between social responsibility and insider ownership. Suggestions for further research: Suggestions submitted to future research is to continue on the new unique research approach that this study has shed light on, by studying how the level of insider ownership affects the relationship between CSR and financial performance (read more suggestions under section 6.5 Suggestions for further research). Contributions of the thesis: The study provides more empirical data to the varying results that previous researchers has shown in attempt to examine the relationship between CSP and financial performance, and the relationship between insider ownership and CSP. The study has also contributed to a new research area regarding the insider ownership and how they influence the relationship between social responsibility and financial performance.

Full textPurpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between companies’ financial performance and how the companies are rated on their involvement in Corporate Social Responsibility-activities. Method: This study, based on a positivist research philosophy, adopted a deductive approach with hypothesis testing and a quantitative research design with a panel-data method in the form of a cross-sectional design. This type of research design was used to collect secondary data from several years. The study population amounts to 171 companies while the sample amounts up to 130 listed companies on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Secondary data for CSP for the year 2009 until 2013 was retrieved from Folksam Corporate responsibility index for each year. Secondary data for the financial performance was retrieved from Retriever and Datastream databases. In addition, analysis of all the collected secondary data was based on descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis in SPSS. Results and Conclusions: The study’s results indicate that the relationship between CSP and CFP are significantly negative when Tobin’s Q refers to CFP. This means that the companies’ market value tends to decrease as their social performance increases. Furthermore, this study doesn’t find any significant relationship between CSP and ROA as CFP. An indication of a weak positive relationship is provided, however, albeit with no significance. The result can be explained by theories as stakeholder theory and institutional theory. Suggestions for further research: A suggestion is to examine the effects of the relationship of CSP and CFP after the EU directive comes into force. Furthermore, it would be interesting to conduct a study which analyzes and compares the changes over the individual years since this study only adopted an average value for all the variables during the years 2009 until 2013. It would also be interesting to investigate whether the industries according to Folksam (2013) runs the biggest business risks relating to sustainability is also increasing its social performance over the years. Furthermore, these industries should also be examined to see why some industries show a significant correlation where other industries lack this connection. Contributions of the thesis: Based on this study, concerned parties receives a theoretical contribution that shows a new measuring method and another perspective on the relationship of social- and financial performance, compared to previous research. This study also opens a field of research for the study of industries and why some industries show a significant correlation where other industries lack this correlation. The practical contribution in this study gives an indication of how the financial result may be affected by a higher degree of sustainability efforts to meet the new EU directive.

Full textTitle: Environmental controversies and their impact on companies' market value Level: Student thesis, final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Carl Tangfelt och Olivia Wikberg Supervisor: Jan Svanberg Date: 2021 – June Aim: In today's society, sustainability and climate are widely debated. This also affects companies. There are increasing demands from the outside world to operate in a sustainable way as a company, at the same time as the incidence of corporate scandals is gradually increasing. How companies should prevent and act in corporate scandals linked to sustainability is therefore an essential issue. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether environmental controversies affect companies' market value by answering whether companies' market value is negatively affected. The study also examines whether companies' visibility has an impact on a possible effect between market value and environmental controversies. Method: The study method is based on a positivistic research philosophy with a hypothetical-deductive research approach. The study is characterized by a quantitative method with a longitudinal design as the study data extend between the years 2010–2020. Secondary data is collected from the Refinitiv Eikon database and comprises 133 public companies. Data were then processed in SPSS. Result & Conclusions: The results of the study show a surprisingly significant positive relationship between environmental controversies and companies' market value. The results also indicate that this relationship is affected by the degree of visibility the company has. The results thus indicate that all publicity is good publicity regarding environmental controversies from a market value perspective. Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes to fill a research gap in the area of corporate controversies and its financial impact on companies since market value in relation to environmental scandals has not been studied before. The study also contributes to an increased knowledge of how companies' preventive sustainability work affects financial performance and thus brings insights to entrepreneurs in the continued sustainability work. Finally, the study contributes practically to stakeholders who have an interest in companies' sustainability performance and its financial impact on the company. Suggestions for future research: Interesting guidelines for further research in the subject consist of the social and governance ESG dimensions. Future research could also consider more endogenicity and study the environmental performance in relation to environmental controversies and market value. Key words: CSR, ESG-score, Environmental controversies, CSP-score, corporate scandals, market value, visibility

Full textAbstract Title: The impact of female board members and board tenure have on CSR and cultural differences on these relationship Level: Student thesis, final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Celine Andersson and Louise Eriksson Supervisor: Jan Svanberg Date: 2019 - June Aim: Due to pressure from the society, companies interest in CSR activities has increased in recent years, and has also caused regulation and restrictions on this. The board is responsible for ensuring that these rules and restrictions are complied with, where the boards actions may depend on its composition. This study aims to investigate whether female board members and the board tenure can have an impact on the companies CSR through a changed interest in the the companies CSR-activities, and also see if cultural differences might have an impact on a possible relationship. Method: The study has a positivistic starting point with a hypothetical-deductive approach. The research strategy in which the study is conducted is quantitative, where data on female board members, board tenure and CSP were obtained from 598 and 704 companies from Europe and the US, which resulted in 2990 and 3520 observations during the five-year period 2013-2017. For data collection, we have used the Thomson Reuters Datastream database. We have also collected data on nations' cultural differences from Hofstede Insights, using the Country Comparison Tool. Compilation of the data has been made using the statistical program SPSS. Result & Conclusions: The result we found in the study is that there is a positive correlation between female board members and CSR. We can see that the board tenure has a small effect on CSR, but here further research is needed. Furthermore, we can determine that cultural differences have a moderating effect on both of the above relationships. Contribution of the thesis: The contribution that the study provides is an increased knowledge of how board tenure affects the company's CSR, it also provides a commenced filling of the research gap that exists about how cultural differences affect the relationship. Furthermore, we have increased the assurance of the positive relationship between female board members and the CSR and has established that cultural differences affect the power of women board members regarding CSR, and how the board tenure affects decisions about CSR. Suggestions for future research: For future research on the subject, we demand studies for the optimal proportion of female board members and where the limit goes for the positive relationship between female board members and CSR to be weaker. Further research on the subject can also be on whether the board tenure has an impact on the company's CSR. Key words: Women on boards, board tenure, cultural features, CSP, CSR, Hofstede and ESG.

Full textThe hematopoietic stem cells represent a major therapeutic alternative in the treatment of some disease. The hematopoietic stem cell can be obtained by mobilization of the peripheral stem cells blood (CSP) by the growth factor of the granulocyte : the G-CSF. The short-term immunological effects of the mobilization by G-CSF at the donor are known, on the other hand, the long-term effects are it less. We realized a study on 24 donors to observe the alteration inferred by this mobilization. Blood samples are taken, before, at the moment and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the mobilization. The number of certain blood cells and their capacity to produce cytokines or immunoglobulins are perturbed by the mobilization but find normal values 3 in 6 months later. On the other hand, the mobilization by G-CSF is associated with a persistent aneuploidy of CD34- cells beyond 6 months post-mobilization. The long-term risk of the administration of G-CSF must be more amply studied. The peripheral stem cells transplantation after reduced-intensy conditioning regimen lead to less immediate toxicity. We studied several parameters post-graft of 20 recipients. The engrafment was fast, the counts of CD8 cells came back to a normal value 4 months after graft while the reconstruction of CD4 cells is much slower. Several results (number of TREC, number of memory's cells. . . ) show that this type of graft facilitates a reconstruction by peripheral expansion of T cells which the other cells can limit the incidence of severe infection post-graft

Full textDenna uppsats berör och problematiserar kring ämnesområdet CSR, en förkortning av engelskans corporate social responsibility, eller som det heter på svenska; företagens sociala ansvar. Syftet med studien är att genom fem uppställda hypoteser undersöka om det finns något samband mellan omfattningen av företags CSR-kommunikation och variablerna: omsättning, segment (börsvärde), omsättning per anställd, branschtillhörighet, samt vilken typ utav CSR-kommunikation som används mest frekvent. För att besvara syftet genomfördes en kvantitativ undersökning där 254 företags årsredovisningar analyserades och poängsattes efter en framtagen skala rörande CSR-kommunikation. Den totala poäng de erhöll (företagens CSR-tal) jämfördes sedermera med ovan nämnda variabler genom regressionsanalys och medelvärdesberäkning. Teori kring ämnesområdet sammanställdes och användes senare som analysverktyg av de uppkomna resultaten. Genom undersökningen kan vi verifiera våra hypoteser gällande att omsättning och börsvärde skulle påverka företags CSR-tal samt att alla branscher arbetar mer med intern CSR-kommunikation än extern. Dock falsifierar vi hypotesen att företag med högre omsättning per anställd skulle kommunicera mindre kring sitt CSR-arbete. Slutligen fick vi delvis verifiera och delvis falsifiera hypotesen för vilka branscher som är mest benägna att kommunicera om sitt CSR-arbete.
